Amid a violent student uprising in South Korea, a young boy named Dong-ho is shockingly killed. The story of this tragic episode unfolds in a sequence of interconnected chapters as the victims and the bereaved encounter suppression, denial, and the echoing agony of the massacre. From Dong-ho’s best friend; to an editor struggling against censorship; to a prisoner and a factory worker, each suffering from traumatic memories; and to Dong-ho's own grief-stricken mother; and through their collective heartbreak and acts of hope is the tale of a brutalized people in search of a voice.

Watchout for female reading the boy's part ch. 1!!
Revisado: 03-23-25
The book and story are amazing. I love Han Kang's writing style. But this book is told through different characters with different genders. So, to place a female voice in the first chapter to read a boy's part (the boy's) is extremely confusing for the reader who is waiting for this boy to appear (who knows nothing about this book!), who is the centerpiece of the story. Have a boy read for the boy to not confuse the reader and to stay true to the text and its meaning as much as possible. Everyone else's part as far as I know is accurate as the boy's mother is played by a female voice that sounds older. I think it has something to do with the celebrity pecking order. More fame gets more claim but makes the audible lame, let's keep the characters same-same (male character-male voice and so on). If you are not Korean, it's also difficult to understand the complex relationship between gender and names! Being progressive doesn't mean being dismissive of critical thinking.

For the last 20 years, George Saunders has been teaching a class on the Russian short story to his MFA students at Syracuse University. In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, he shares a version of that class with us, offering some of what he and his students have discovered together over the years. Paired with iconic short stories by Chekhov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Gogol, the seven essays in this book are intended for anyone interested in how fiction works and why it’s more relevant than ever in these turbulent times.

A must read for all readers

A must-read for all readers. It's about the art of short stories but has so much more to offer. I love Saunders' style of having us rethink and relearn on how to look at stories.
